73. I worked at a local bar in Staunton serving beer and wine my junior year.
74. I am terrified of snakes
75. I love getting older each year - I know it's weird - I get it from my dad who is 72 and tells people he's almost 80.
76. I look a lot like my mom but more and more people say they see a lot of my dad in me as I am getting older. I know I definitely have a lot of his personality (don't worry dad, it's a compliment) - a bit strong headed and quick to make decisions and get the ball rolling.
77. Jason is definitely my opposite in terms of decision making and more laid back - definitely the yin to my yang! I needed someone who could keep me on track - he's so much like my mom:)
